Bluefin Tuna Action in the Mediterranean
A French fisherman swings a flag pole at Greenpeace activists during a peaceful direct action to stop bluefin tuna fishing in the Mediterranean. Activists from the Greenpeace ships Rainbow Warrior and the Arctic Sunrise launched high speed inflatable boats in an attempt to submerge one side of a purse seine fishing net to free the trapped tuna. As the action started on the French vessel, Jean Marie Christian 6, the other tuna vessels rushed in to stop the peaceful activists, injuring one Greenpeace activist and sinking one Greenpeace inflatable boat.
